The love of money a Formidable addiction (sub- title "The Ultimate test)

The love of money is so wide spread and contagious, and have you noticed that the O Jay's, #1 hit is the only song I know that addresses the issue, but I have not heard any other artists try to even top it! Why so? Because most of the world feels there's really nothing wrong with wanting a lot of money. Many times that is the sole reason they become music artists. Even Barry Gordy himself, in his Motown documentary said that he wanted Motown because of the woman he could get, Linking the love of money with the love of life's most exquisite delights!

A supposition!?

What if you were summoned to a room to get the job of a life time. And promised the most excellent pay, unlimited benefits n suppossidliy unlimited retirement plan too? You are in the room, nerves rattled hoping to get the job of your dreams, and what happened next?

In walks the owner of the company hiring n it's none other than, Satan the Devil him self, with a big stack of contracts under his arms, n looking sharp too, wareing a solid gold colored 3peice suit n following closely behind him are two paled jacks loaded with cash 5 foot square. And moving on their own accord! One was thousand dollar bills and the other with hundred dollar bills. Also the signing bonus is in cash!

Before you could react, most of the crowd had already got up on their feet shouting: "Sign me up!?" What would you do though? Would you be one of the crowd? You see they were not concerned about what they had to do on this job n whom they are working for, clearly, their only concern was money!

However if you are a God fearing person and I think you are, if you are still reading, would you leave that room? If so, how fast will you be leaving that room? Would you hesitate, thinking, maybe all the jobs might not be top bad! And my mortgage is two months behind, and I want a good life for my self n my family!? Or would you not second guess anything and just run like hell!

Be honest, but if you choose the latter, you are doing quite well!

The Bible assures us that Jehovah is the one that gives us the power to make wealth... The blessing of Jehovah is what makes rich,!..... Don't wear your self out to be rich,......... money gathered little by little makes it increase...,.(Numbers, Proverbs)

The wicked one will probably not ever make so bold of offer, but notice this:

7 And war broke out in heaven: Miʹcha·el*+ and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled 8 but they did not prevail,* nor was a place found for them any longer in heaven. 9 So down the great dragon+ was hurled, the original serpent,+ the one called Devil+ and Satan,+ who is misleading the entire inhabited earth;+ he was hurled down to the earth,+ and his angels were hurled down with him. 10 I heard a loud voice in heaven say:

“Now have come to pass the salvation+ and the power and the Kingdom of our God+ and the authority of his Christ, because the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down, who accuses them day and night before our God!+ 11 And they conquered him+ because of the blood of the Lamb+ and because of the word of their witnessing,+ and they did not love their souls*+ even in the face of death. 12 On this account be glad, you heavens and you who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea,+ because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing that he has a short period of time.”+(Revelation 12:7-12)

A short period of time is the key part of this passage! It's been about 100+ years since this has been fufilled, this prophecy! We don't know how angry the devil is! Or do we? Word!

 George: "Get ready Susie!"  he says excitedly!

Susie: "Ready papa!" As the vehicle starts to come apart, George says:

George: "Mark!"  As they start  fall, George sends coded instructions for Susie to activate a special failsafe in her suit to help keep the power cells of the suit, while she is shielded from the sun, so she does not give out of batter power.  As they get closer to the trees, they maneuver themselves further away to give them a tactical advantage, by making it look like they are separated from each other, vulnerable, and alone, even if they did survive the fall.

Supreme leader:  "Bye!, Bye! Secret Eye!" "Ha!

Hah! Hah! "Hah! Hah! "  Ha!

Hah! Hah! "Hah! Hah!

                                           THE SECRET EYE!  

As soon as George and Susie touch the tops of the trees of the rainforest, George contacts Susie and says: 

George: "Now Susie!"  "Activate your suit!?"

Susie: "Right papa!" "ACTIVATED!"

As soon as they start up their suits, they are out of sight within the trees and start maneuvering them into a soft landing.  However, Susie's landing was a bit unusually soft, because she landed into the web of an enormous spider.

George: "Susie, I'm on the ground now. Did you soft land on the ground?"

Susie: "Yes, I soft-landed, but not exactly on the ground."

George: "Where exactly did you land dear!?"

Susie: "In a very big and sticky spider-web, and  Oh!"

George: "What!?"

Susie: "Hurry Papa, m about to be a spider happy meal!"

George: "Don't be silly, spiders don't eat canned food!" "Ha!, Ha!"

Susie: "Not very funny Papa, don't  you care m about to be eaten!?"

George: "Susie, stop kidding around, it can't hurt you, you are virtually indestructible, and plus you are wearing a super suit"  "Just smack him away, get down and follow  my  homing signal!?"

Susie:  "Eeewh! no way, he looks icky!" "I'm not touching that!?"

George: "Great then, just let him swallow you, and wait until he gets upset, stomach, then he will just puke you back up!?"

Susie: "That doesn't sound pleasant either!?" "Shew, get away from me!?" Susie, says as she swings her hand and hits it and sends it sailing through the rainforest.  "Wow! That was easy!"  Suddenly a noise causes her to turn her attention back towards the nest. "Oh no!"

George: "What is it, Susie!?"

Susie: "Hundreds of much smaller ones are crawling out of the nest toward me, and they are growling at me!" "I guess I made them mad when I smacked their mommy away!"

George: "Growling!?"  "Let me hear?" As he listens, something jogs his memory about Growing spiders, and he says: "Run!, Get out of there!?"

Susie: "What!?" "Your voice sounds different, what have you figured out. and I can't run, m stuck in this sticky mess!"  "Can't I just shoot my way out of here with the electronic pulse cannons built into the suit?"

George: "No!!"  "They will explode!"

Susie: "Now you tell me I'm stuck in a living minefield!"

George: "Hang on, Susie. I'm coming to help, and please try not to anger them anymore!"      

Meanwhile, back at the Supreme Leader's Flying base, He still snarls as the recked assault vehicle crumbles to pieces as it falls towards the rainforest.

Supreme Leader: "So much for the secret eye!" "Seize the wreckage!?" "We can learn a lot about our opponents, by examining the gadgets they like to play with!"

Base Pilot: "Sir!"

Supreme Leader: "What is it, pilot!?"

Base Pilot: "The wreckage Sir, the wreckage is gone!"

Supreme Leader: "Gone!?"  "That's impossible!"  "How!?"

Base Pilot:  "It just vanished."  "However, I checked the sensor logs, and apparently, a cloaked recon drone came and picked up the wreckage and carried it in the direction that the PI came from. Then, it cloaked and went off the radar!"

Supreme Leader: "That is one clever Dic!"  "Clever indeed!"  "Launch the troops into the rainforest, find them!?"  "It's time we tried a different approach towards our cleaver Friend." "Tell the troops to use extreme force on the Indigenous life forms in this forest, they are quite deadly!"  "However be very careful with the giant spiders, their blood is very corrosive, and a powerful explosive!"

Base Pilot: "Sir!" "Long-range sensors have detected a spacecraft leaving the planet, the one composed of solid gold, and seems to be headed this way at a very rapid speed!"

Supreme Leader:  "Excellent!"  "Finally some results!"

Base Pilot: "You were expecting this Sir!?"

Supreme Leader:  "No!  However, one would say I have been wishing upon a star!" "Hum!, Hum!, Hum!, Hum!, Hum!, Hum!,"  "Sargent! Come with me to my observatory!?" "Make sure the troops work quickly and find that detective, and his tin can and bring them alive to my observatory!?"  As the Supreme Leader and the Sargent get to the observatory, the Sargent was speaking a bit out of school about the event of a spaceship leaving that planet and coming rapidly towards Earth. He says:

Sargent:  "Looks like our plan worked sending all of those friendship messages Sir!"

Supreme Leader: "Friendship messages!?"  "Oh no no not! not friendship messages, but a declaration of war!"

Sargent: "What!?"  "But Sir!?" "That is insane!" "People, or beings from anywhere in the universe that can control an environment in space to create the precise conditions to make such a planet, is surely far more advanced for us to do battle with them."  "What kind of strategy is this?"

Supreme Leader: "Strategy!?" "No!"  "Diversion, yes!" "You see it's no coincidence we are here at this particular rainforest." "It's one of my greatest experiments."  "Everything, the plant, and the animal population, not your normal pharmaceutical jungle, but chemical, and biological weapons."  "That is why we are staying right here because news about "this rainforest favored prominently in my messages to declare war"

Sargent: "Why Sir, what do you hope to gain from this diversion?"

Supreme Leader:  "What indeed?"  "Knowledge!"  "Of course, We could be no match for them, but the confrontation is a diversion."

Sargent: "A diversion for what Sir!?"

Supreme Leader:  "We have the most skilled computer hackers!" "Granted, hacking into the computing system, of a spaceship from another galaxy might be challenging, but the risks do not out way the promise of success"  "Haile Hitler!"

Sargent: "Haile Hitler!"

The Supreme Leader's plan was to distract the crew of the alien ship, long enough to give his hacking crew time to get into their systems and learn all they could about interplanetary travel. Yes, he was quite mad! He is hell-bent on staking his claim on that planet, but little does he know that they had been listening to everything they were planning even from deep space.  Also, they had already sent a cloaked recon vehicle to rescue George and Susie from those spiders, and they had rendezvoused with the mother-ship,  already briefed them on the Supreme Leader's plan and anticipated that he had planned to use him as a negotiator, but now they are going to negotiate for the alien ship! George suggested a solution that would discourage the space race from getting to that planet and staking a claim.  He proposed that a chunk of the planet be broken off and launched to the planet Earth into a secluded desert where the conditions of mining it would be so harsh, that everyone concerned, would have no choice but to pool their resources and mine the gold together and share the wealth.  After that was over,  the FBI stormed into the Supreme Leader flying base, arrested everyone, retrieved George's friend, Victoria, and returned her to her crying husband! the FBI  drops George and Susie off at their humble abode.

George: "That was some kind of experience, would you say?"

Susie: "I have  to agree with you!"  "What part of it was too incredible about it to you?"  "The extraterrestrials, or how crazy people get with gold fever?"

George: "I know all too well about how crazy and obsessed with wealth, and riches."  "The secret of being happy and content is in a lesson I learned in my childhood."  "The first time my father took me with him to cut grass and make some money."  "The hard work and the getting paid was not the lessen complete." "The thing that really drives the point home is when we would stop and take a break and get something to eat and drink."  "From that day forward, I always associated working with eating."  "There is a scripture in the Bible that states, 'that if someone does not want to work, neither let him eat!"  "To this very day, that in itself is a good motivation for ones to get off ones but and get a job!"

Susie: "Word!"

WHAT HAS HAPPEND TO TRUE LOVE? (sub-title The Family, the Back bone of the World!)

 1. Is there really such a thing as true Love?

2.  Is separation and divorce really the answer?

3.  Is there any real good reason for people not in the Marriage, to interfere? 

4.  What is the mighty army that conquered the Roman Empire?

            Is there really such a thing as true Love?

                      As a whole, true love is dead in America, and around the world.  Jesus Christ even told us that the love of the greater number will cool off.  Yes!  Jesus' words have come true.  Only a great minority are practicing true love and all aspects of it, and benefiting from blessings of following Bible principles.  However, the flip side of the issue is that the rest of the world is doing things all wrong, and that is the reason they are in turmoil, separations, and divorces.  No consideration of God's principles at all, just one's own selfish desires.

           Is separation and divorce really the answer?

                     In my experience, yes if one has no choice, especially if one's in-laws, or stepchildren are too involved, and the estranged spouse is in a mental state, unable to reason clearly on anything, not to mention following bible principles, and the whole situation could possibly end up in such a violent situation, that would be much worse than just being separated and devoiced, but also in prison, for murder.  In such extreme cases, one must know when to just let go and move on.  However, if things are not at such an extreme, applying Bible principles does work.  However it takes two people applying Bible principles, not one, but both.

Is there any real good reason for people not in the Marriage, to interfere? 

                  No!  No reason whatsoever, only a minister, or a trained marriage counselor, because people outside of the marriage always have selfish motives, like the love of money, they could have their eyes, on the person's mate themselves, and also, they could not possibly know enough about the situation, to have any objectivity, not to mention incurring God's wrath for ignoring his commands concerning commands about marriage.

    What is the mighty army that conquered the Roman Empire?

                   I know anyone would have to claim know I was being sarcastic with this topic.  For history dictates, though some might claim such a victory over the Roman Empire, the real conqueror was the breakdown of moral fiber.  The family as a whole became virtually non-existent, with multiple alternate forms of relationships.  Sound familiar?  In conclusion, I would like to turn ones attention to Proverbs chapter 1:  Starting with verse 20;  True wisdom+

 cries aloud in the street.+

It keeps raising its voice in the public squares.+

21 At the corner* of the busy streets it calls out.

At the entrances of the city gates it says:+

22 “How long will you inexperienced ones love inexperience?

How long will you ridiculers take pleasure in ridicule?

And how long will you foolish ones hate knowledge?+

23 Respond to my reproof.*+

Then I will pour out my spirit for you;

I will make my words known to you.+

24 Because I called out, but you kept refusing,

I stretched out my hand, but no one was paying attention,+

25 You kept neglecting all my advice

And rejecting my reproof,

26 I also will laugh when disaster strikes you;

I will mock when what you dread comes,+

27 When what you dread comes like a storm,

And your disaster arrives like a storm wind,

When distress and trouble come upon you.

28 At that time they will keep calling me, but I will not answer;

They will eagerly look for me, but they will not find me,+

29 Because they hated knowledge,+

And they did not choose to fear Jehovah.+

30 They refused my advice;

They disrespected all my reproof.

31 So they will bear the consequences* of their way,+

And they will be glutted with their own counsel.*

32 For the waywardness of the inexperienced will kill them,

And the complacency of fools will destroy them.

33 But the one listening to me will dwell in security

And be undisturbed by the dread of calamity.”+

                    Word!
